Quick Start Guide to Competency Modeling
By John M. Ford "johnDC" - February 4, 2009This is a reasonable introductory guide to competency modeling. It lacks the detailed treatment of job analysis and assessment found in organizational psychology journals, but that's not a reasonable expectation for a how-to book. Seema Sanghi has done a good job introducing the fundamentals. You can go on to learn more elsewhere--but you won't have to unlearn anything from this book.
The early chapters walk readers through the basics of competency modeling in organizations. Varied definitions of competencies from history, research and practice are concisely reviewed. The resulting synthesis is that "[a] competency model describes the combination of knowledge, skills and characteristics needed to effectively perform a role in an organization and is used as a human resource tool for selection, training and development, appraisal and succession planning." (p. 20). To the author, competencies are defined as much by organizational strategy as human capability. Models... read more
Excellent general introduction to the topic
By Native Texan - June 12, 2012I've been working in the field of core competencies for about 20 years and the books I would recommend are few. This book is definitely one I would recommend, especially to managers and executives who need an introduction to the topic.
PROS: It's smart and concise while covering all the major points. There are a couple of useful CC model samples. The definitions in the early part of the book are very helpful in sorting out the different meanings of "competency" and "competence." This is a good book to go to for material if you have to make a presentation on the topic.
CONS: American readers may find some of the sentence choices jarring but it will not affect comprehension. Also, the glossary should have included the in-text definitions.
CONCLUSION: Reading it, I get a sense of a realistic and practical author. Well researched. Highly recommended.
Very disappointed...
By Disgruntled Reader - September 26, 2007I'm not sure if the problem is English as a second language, poor translation, or bad proofreading/editing--but I was very disappointed with the contents of this (very expensive, very small) paperback book. There are some potentially useful checklists, but overall, it "felt" like a PhD dissertation awkwardly turned into a book.
